Firebase Basics
Authentication
Auth is accomplished with the OAuth2.0 flow using various methods:
- Email/Password
- Phone number (Auth using SMS text)
- Anonymous (allows users to sign in temporarily, then become users)
Permissions
You can control the read/write permissions using the database "Rules".
Permissions are written in a JSON format.
Creating the Database
Database Structure
Firebase uses a NoSQL based database (like MongoDB). This means that data will be structured as JSON.
